broken

Still no internet at home.  The day came and passed for connection.  After half an hour on the phone we were finally told that our order had been put on hold for some unknown reason.  So we had to start all over again.  The new date for connection is next Wednesday. 

I was feeling more than a bit aggravated after that phone call.  Then I remembered something our pastor said months ago.  If we know we live in a broken world ... why are we so surprised when things go wrong?  Remembering his words helped put the whole situation in perspective.  This is one of those opportunities to grow in patience.

Here is a lacy little shawl I've been working on the past week.  It combines a lot of the skills and pattern stitches I've learned the past several years.  I've named it "Zeke."

Our granddaughter has turned three and her quilt is finished.  Never did snap a picture before sending it off ... perhaps the next time I visit!
